Are there any legal issues surrounding this, such as use of someone else's intellectual property to create or adapt something to make it your own? |

Would they extend to exact replicas and names or even so far as to be mere likeness or aspects of the creatures created for PixPet.Net? When I saw my first adoptable egg hatch, I thought it was a puppy with a unicorn horn and I thought that would make an awesome fursona character. Now that I've found out it's actually a bear cub with a unicorn horn (I don't know why the name didn't make that clear to me in the first place), I wonder if I tweaked it slightly to make it more dog like but kept the horn, would this character be in breach of copyright infringement even if I named my fursona species PuppyCorn? |

Maybe now I will draw up my PuppyCorn character |

It felt kinda weird to make a character out of a pet I didn't have yet, but now that I have her I'm gonna start working on my pixpet sona! Her name is going to be Kasey<3 |
